Ibuprofen (IBP) is one of the most prescribed drugs. It has been shown that IBP resist physicochemical wastewater treatment (Gagnon and Lajeunesse 2008). Also, IBP has a known negative effect on algae (Brown et al. 2007). This research focused on…

This dissertation is a study of gender transitivity as I see it at work in three of Robert Schumann's dramatic works: the Szenen aus Goethes Faust, WoO 3, the opera Genoveva op. 81, and the oratorio Das Paradies und die…

Most growth faltering in developing countries occurs in the first two years of life; therefore, there is a need to identify interventions for vulnerable communities which improve child growth during this critical period. The purpose of this research was to…

AbstractThe overall objective of this research is to evaluate significant mechanisms for deposition of surface-modified NZVI in granular subsurface media during transport. Although surface-modified NZVI have been shown to transport more easily than bare NZVI, there is a lack of…

Background: A recent youth health survey in Pangnirtung, NU, revealed that youth are consuming an average of 1L soft drinks per day. In an effort to decrease soft drink consumption, while at the same time develop a method of education…

Limiting the amount of ore dilution prior to entering the process stream is the goal of any mining operation. Narrow vein longitudinal retreating mining methods are especially susceptible to hanging wall and footwall dilution due to the wall overbreak. Understanding…

There currently exists no available model for predicting the Sauter mean bubble diameter, D32, from the key process variables for mechanical flotation machines. This is seen as a significant shortcoming since flotation is a surface area (of bubbles) dependent process,…

This study examined the effects of the residential school system on the Cree and their communities. The four guiding questions for this study were: (i) How has the legacy of the residential school system affected the lives of the survivors…

This thesis presents a study of optimal threshold designs for energy-detection based spectrum sensing in a cognitive-radio network with a pair of Primary-User (PU) transmitter-receiver and a pair of Secondary-User (SU) transmitter-receiver uniformly distributed in their corresponding transmission and interference…

The way frailty is conceptualised and interpreted has profound implications for social responses, care practice and the personal experience of care. This paper begins with an exegesis of the concept of frailty, and then examines the dominant notions of frailty,…
